The only one of its kind in France, the Pyrotechnic Systems program trains students to analyze and design explosive systems and integrate them in mechanical systems, for purposes such as propulsion.
Its applications cover a broad array of sectors: defense, aerospace (rocket propulsion, satellite launch), automotive (airbags), public works as well as industrial risk prevention.
In this field, innovation focuses mainly on developing more environmentally-friendly and safer energetic materials as well as on reducing blast effects for human and environmental protection. These new trends are included in the syllabus and are the focus of research on campus.
This is France's one and only pyrotechnics program. It covers compressible and reactive fluid mechanics, dynamic behavior of materials, chemistry of energetic materials, solid propulsion, digital processing and simulation methods, and pyrotechnic regulations.
Whether accidental or intentional, underwater explosions generate, at the very least, noise which can be a threat to marine fauna. To tackle this environmental challenge, ENSTA Bretagne researchers at the Institut de Recherche Dupuy de Lôme decided to investigate the use of bubble curtains to attenuate underwater noise generated by human activities (construction work, explosions, etc.).
Our research work is carried out in partnership with numerous French and international organizations and businesses: Belgian Royal Military Academy, Armasuisse, French-Germany Research Institute of Saint Louis, Nobel Sport, Livbag, SNECMA, Ariane Group…
ENSTA Bretagne has extensive experimental facilities to study dynamic phenomena: shock wave propagation, combustion, blast.
Examples of testing equipment: shock machine (compression, torsion and tension), Taylor gun, laser, etc.
Cette spécialité est offerte aux élèves Polytechniciens dans le cadre de leur 4e année.
This laboratory also hosts researchers from Université de Bretagne Sud (UBS), Université de Bretagne Occidentale (UBO), ENIB (École Nationale d'Ingénieurs de Brest) and CNRS.
Pyrotechnics research at ENSTA Bretagne is focused on defining shock wave properties and on reducing the effects of explosions in diphasic environments.
Every year, numerous pyrotechnics-related theses are pursued at ENSTA Bretagne.
